Hi bike collectives,

We are moving again into a larger and more unique space and we are trying to figure out layout.

I am curious if others have floor plans or shop layout drawings.  We are trying to figure out how to include display space, repair space (6 - 8 stands), lounge/hang-out space for building community, office, and the usual crazy amount of storage needed for donated bikes and new & used parts.  I am really interested in ratios of how much space you allocate for each of these activities.  

If you have drawings, I would love to see them to get us dreaming.

Anybody included a coffee shop, book store or other third space?  If so, how is that working with a bike collective?
